- Premises LiabilityPremises liability: Property owners owe a duty of care to any person who has a right to be on their premises, and a failure to uphold the studio of care can result in significant injuries or fatalities.
- Property DamageFor an example of how this works, let us suppose that a person sustains $100,000 worth of medical bills, property damage expenses, and lost income as a result of a crash. However, let us also imagine that a jury determines that the individual was 40% responsible for the incident because they were sending a text message at the time the incident occurred. In this particular scenario, the individual would receive $60,000 instead of the full $100,000. The $40,000 subtracted from the total represents the person’s 40% of shared responsibility for the incident.
